2) Nakoro VMS Prospect
Anglo completed two diamond drill programs between 1975 and 1977, totalling 2,614 metres in 20 holes over a strike length of approximately 300 metres. This historic Anglo core-drilling returned significant VMS drill intercepts, highlights including:
Drill Hole | Length (m) * | Copper % | Zinc % | Silver g/t |
NKD 2 | 12 | 0.3 | 12.7 | 56 |
NKD 3 | 4 | 0.4 | 5.3 | nd |
NKD 12 | 7.4 | 0.3 | 7.2 | 54 |
NKD 13 | 23.2 | 0.5 | 5.1 | 22 |
NKD 15 | 4.4 | 0.4 | 8.8 | nd |
NKD 18 | 7.1 | 0.1 | 4.8 | 48 |
NKD 21 | 3 | 0.1 | 5.4 | nd |
* All widths are core length intersections. nd = no data |
The deposit remains open in all directions. Anglo's drill campaign did not fully test the 650-metre strike length of the exposed gossan zone and associated Zn-Cu geochemical soil anomaly. The Nakoro hosting horizon has a potential strike length of at least 8 km, as interpreted from aeromagnetic geophysical data.
3) Liwa Creek Gold Prospect

The original sampling at the Liwa Creek Gold Prospect produced an assay of 8.4 g/t Au and 93 g/t Ag from a siliceous, pyritic rock sample taken by Amoco Minerals Fiji Ltd. in the 1970s. Subsequent soil sampling and trenching conducted in the 1980s by Geopacific Limited outlined a 50-metre by 250-metre anomaly with soil samples assaying up to 9.6 g/t Au and chip sampling from trenches showing 15 metres of 1.9 g/t Au, and 5.5 metres of 2.01 g/t Au. More recently, Aljen has shown the potential for a regional target area by locating other areas having anomalous gold, including a chip sample assaying 5.7 g/t Au over 7 metres. Mineralization is associated with silica ledges, high and low sulphide veins, and steep siliceous zones, all typical of epithermal gold systems.
